SOUVENIR explores the deserted inside of contemporary 36-hour mini cruise ferry ships between the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and the UK. As a low-budget replica of luxurious Caribbean cruises, the ship is in a constant state of transit, never arriving at a final destination. On board, settings and décor bear reference to a European colonial history of seafaring and trade while the actual ocean remains distant - in surveillance monitors, the on-board cinema and panoramic window fronts. A female voiceover is composed out of different interviews with seamen's widows, somewhere in between dialogue and inner monologue, circling around topics of distant love, memory, fury and a departure from society's expectations.
